An official ACCC notice concerns Sneaker Basel Magnetic Levitation Sneaker Displays (updated). The sneaker display’s magnets can forcefully attract, break, splinter and emit sparks, posing a laceration hazard. In addition, when two or more high-powered magnets are swallowed, either accidentally or intentionally, the ingested magnets can attract each other and become lodged in the digestive system. This can lead to perforations, twisting and/or blockage of the intestines that can lead to infection and death. Injuries have occurred in Australia and the USA. Published 2024-07-08.
What to do now
Consumers should stop using the product and keep the magnets at least 16 cm apart from each other at all times. If the magnets come together consumers should not attempt to separate them. Consumers are entitled to a full refund. Culture Kings has engaged a third party, Coghlan Pty Ltd, to administer the refund process. To register for a refund, consumers should visit https://coghlan.com.au/culture-kings-recall/.
